sealing vessels seized.

SAN Francisco, July 1s.-By the
Alaska Commercial Company Steamer
Dora, which arrived to-day from
Onalaska, information is received of
the seizure of two vessels for sealing
within the prescribed limits of the
United States Government. The crafts
are the American schooner Challenge,
thirty tons, from Seattle, and the
British steamer-Schooner Annie Beck
hailing from Victoria. The seizures
were made by the United States
revenue cutter Richard Rah. The
Sitka. The challenge was taken July
| in Onekstene Island. When over
hauled by the Rah no seals were to be
seen, but there was blood on deck and
other evidences that the crew had been
engaged in sealing. The Rah took
charge of her in spite of the protest OF
the captain, who urged that every skin
he had was obtained in open waters
of the Pacific. The Rah took
her prize to Onalaska. Two
DAYS later the Annie Beck

the Challenge, there was blood on TIE

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 19.-The
storm of yesterday afternoon was fol-
lowed by one of almost equal force
about o'clock this morning. Several
houses ON Cumberland street, neal
Gilmore, wei struck by lightning and
unroofed, and their contents almost en-
tirely destroyed by rain. The Har-
lem park, the most beautiful resort
within the city, this morning presents
the appearance of desolation. Nearly
all the trees are damaged and many OF
them entirely destroyed. UnroOfed
houses are seen all over the western
section of the city, and the aggregate
damage is heavy, though individual
losses are comparatively light. At the
city marine hospital, down on the Pot
apsas river, the hail of yesterday after
noon broke all the windows on the
south side and the entire building was
flooded. The rainfall for twelve hours
ending at o'clock this morning, was
one and three-eighthS inches.

LOngshoremens' Demands.

NEW YORK, July 2O.-Previous to
the great strike of last winter, when
the longshoremen struck out of sympa-
thy with the coal beavers, and also to
help out the striking longshoremen of
the Old Dominion Steamship company,
most. of them were getting between so
and 40 cents per hour for day work and
go cents for night work, but when the
great strike was lost, and they ap-
piled for work on the piers, they found
that the steamship company were pay
ing new hands only 81 cents for night
work, and they were told that they
could not get any more. Gradually the
companies discharged green hands who
were taken during the strike, put old
men in their places, and in the course
of time nearly all the old hands were at
work again. Yesterday their officers
published a notice to the ship owners,
stevedores and captains, demanding so
cents an hour for night work and work
on legal holidays.

The Climax Capped by Wanting Aid

CHEYENNE, WyO., July 19.-The
Pacific railroad investigation commit
tee had public meeting here to-day.
Ex-Governor Warren said that an ex-
tension of the Burlington s. Missouri
and of the Chicago & Northwestern
roads into Wyoming will have the eff
feet to tap the territory naturally trib-
utary to the Union Pacific and deprive
that road and Cheyenne City of part
of their present business. In reply to
a question by Governor Pattison as to
why the United States government
should assist the Union Pacific to
build branch, he said as in the case
of any other debtor, it should be assist
ed by its creditor into position where
it could pay. Other witnesses testified
to the necessity for feeders for the
Union Pacific throughout Wyoming in
order that Cheyenne may retain and
develop its character as a distributing
point for the territory. 1t appeared
that r. L. Vantassel has monopoly of
the stock yard business at Cheyenne.
Also that the Union Pacific Is owner of
the Rock Springs coal mines. Mr..
Hebard's testimony was to the effect
that while clerk in the Union Pacific
Office at Cheyenne, between 70 and 81,
coal was billed by the company to in
dividuals at $3.50 a ton from Rock
Springs to Cheyenne, while to the gov
eminent it was billed at $3.50 from
Rock Springs to Camp Carlin, a short
distance from Cheyenne.

AFaIse Representation.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The COM
missioner of patents has rendered an
important decision in the case of an ap-
plication to register trade mark for
distilled spirits in which the words
knights of Labor" and l.. of l..
distiIlery appear. The commissioner
states that there is no pretence that
the manufacturers of this particular
brand of whisky who seek to register
the trade mark are Knights of Labor
or are engaged in business with them
or under their auspices; yet the dis
tinctive mark points to this labor
organization or to the members as a
class as the Origin of the ownership of
the article to which it is appealed.
In other words the proposed trade
mark is in the nature of false rep
resentation and deception as to the
general public, possibly to INDUCE them
to purchase an article in the belief that
it Is manufactured by society in
which they have a friendly interest.
The commissioner therefore on the
ground of the false pretence of such a
trade mark refuses its registration.

MaxIcan PennIOns.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The pension
bureau is in daily receipt of large
number of letters from pensioners
under the Mexican pension act of
January %, 1887 asking why payment
does not date from the date of passage
of the act. AS a general answer to
these inquiries the commissioner
desires it stated that by the terms of
law payment can only be made from
January %, 1887 where the pensioner
reached the age of sixty-two years on
or prior to that date and where the
pensioner reached the age of sixty-two
years subsequent to that date payment
will be made from that date and not
from the date of passage of the act.
Thus if a pensioner was sixty-two
years of age March l. 1856 he will be paid
from January %, 1887 if he was sixty
two years of age ON March 1, 1887 he
be paid from that date. This of
course does not apply to applicants for
pensions on the ground of disability or
deDendence

The Watkins NTYsferH.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, July, I9.-After
FIVE days analysis of every circumstance
attending the murder of Genie Wat
kins, conjecture is beginning to con-
meet the assault upon these two girls
with horrible series of murder in Aus
tin. Two years ago nine women were
killed in just twelve months time in
that city, and there was never an eX-
PLANTATION to the murders except that
they were the work of a maniac. A
horrible fear is beginning to spread
that he has begun this work here. An
other report seems to come from a re-
liable source that Captain Watkins
stated in an interview that Miss Genie
Watkins was a very important witness
man was sent to the penitentiary for
robbery, and that mans sentence was
out just four days before the murder
was committed.

G:uardIng American Interests.

New YORK, July 1S.-A Washing
ton special to the Post says the tender
of the United States vessel as convoy
to the Queen of the Hawaiian Islands
is more than a courtesy. Our Govern
ment will send trusted officers with the
ship, and undoubtedly new inStruc-
tiOns to the commanders of our naval
vessels. which should now be at Homo
lulu. If there is any need of imme-
date communication with our authorl-
ties the coast survey steamer, Haster,
which is to act rs a convoy, will at
once return to the United States as a
bearer of dispatch. The Government
feels the need of more speedy inform2-
ton than can be obtained by regular
steamers, and it is thought wise to have
a small fast sailing steamer at the dis
position of our representatives on the
Islands. The absence of Geographic
communication at this juncture will
undoubtedly result in a movement to
secure cable connection with Hawaii at
an early day. Some of the friends of
Mr.. Carter, representative OF the Ha-
waiian Government here, are of the
opinion that he may be recalled to
serve as Prime Minister or to form a
new Cabinet. All admit that Kalakaua
can only retain his crown by acting as
a mere figure head, and by carrying
out the wishes of the foreigners who
already control the affairs of the Is
land and who represent its wealth
and industries.

WABASH, Ind, July 2O.-A genuine
hail cyclone passed through the north
ern part of this county yesterday, doing
an immense amount of damage. The
storm came from the west through Mi
ami county, and crossed the Lake Erie
s. Western railroad at point between
Denver and Peru. It's path through

NEW YORK, July 2O.-The Sun says:
Private letters from the officer and ma
chinist on board the new steel cruiser
Atlantic to friends in the Brooklyn
navy yard say that during the target
practice in Gardeners bay day before
yesterday the eight-inch bow and stern
barbette pivot guns recoiled with such
force as to tear loose the tracks on
which they turn and also to rip up a
portion of the heavy gun deck. These
guns are the heaviest guns afioat in the
service and those on the Atlantic are
the first of them to be tested on board
a ship by our naval officers. The letter
says that the damage was done by a
charge of ninety pounds of powder:
During the firing live sheep was used
| to ascertain just how near men may
stand to the muzzle of the great guns
when they are fired without being
killed by the conclusion. at one dis
charge. the letter says, a sheep was
blown far over the hatchway and killed.

had had their way there would have
been revolution in England long ago.
The Unionists are labOring, Mr.. Glad
